Gauge and sizing : Swatched in 4mm needles and had a looser gauge, so I am knitting a size 1 to reach size 2 measurements. End result 14cm positive ease.


Modifications : I knit the body and sleeves a little longer as I have a long torso. Freestyled the sleeves decrease rate to have a smaller wrist. Cast on 4 more stitches on each underarm, because the front panel scrunched up a lot with the cables and I didn’t have the right measurements anymore.


Pattern review : Very good, easy to follow. I had the chart memorized quite easily.


Yarn review : Loved this yarn. It feels dry, but not scratchy at all. It was very springy, and the small cables look magnificent. I used a cone for the body. Would love to use this yarn again.


Process review : Had to frog and redo some sections because of miscrossed cables, and hazardous attempts at waist and arm shaping (doesn’t look good with drop shoulder construction). I think I will avoid drop shoulders from now on, they look slouchy on me, I prefer contiguous sleeves. The finished product is very beautiful and I hope to wear it for many years. I loved the cable pattern.

Armholes : 14sts instead of 10 to compensate for the front panel scrunching more than expected.

gauge was too wide! 13 stitches instead of 16 for 10cm.
I decided to keep the 5.5mm needles and do a size S instead. Just hoping I won’t regret it later!

I had to redo the collar twice because I wasn’t paying attention enough… Once because I changed the needle size to quickly, and a second time because the ribs wasn’t matching the pattern of the leaves.

Body ended, after 21cm of stockinette and 10cm of ribs, but something’s off. Maybe I’ll redo the end of the body after the sleeves

Finally ended !
I changed the rib to make 1/1 rib, without any increase and with 4.5mm needles.


I wanted to make some leaves on the wrists, and after several trials, I realised that I had to knit the sleeves from wrist to shoulder, to get the leaves pretty and as nice as the ones on the body of the sweater.

Je n’ai utilisé que 2 pelotes de couleur crème, 200 gr donc.
Pour la couleur principale : 900gr ( 1 cône + 1/4 de pelote)
Très agréable car cela change souvent. Les explications sont claires. Prévoir un grand câble pour faire la bordure
